Profile:

Christened "Johnny wonÕt hit today" Douglas by the Australian crowds, he took over the England captaincy when Warner fell sick, and led his side to the Ashes in 1911-12. He had less success after the war, seeing seven consecutive defeats against Australia. A fine all-rounder, he could bowl his fast-medium swingers for long periods, and was extremely hard to dislodge when batting. He had a limited repertoire of strokes, but took few risks, and a solid defence stood him in good stead. As a captain he was tough and enthusiastic, and tried to lead by example, but was somewhat unimaginative. An all-round sportsman, he won an Olympic championship as a boxer, and was a football international. He died tragically at sea, going back below to attempt to rescue his father as the ship went down (Dave Liverman, 1998).
